Three challenges...

I am definitely starting to feel some Christmas spirit. Yesterday I did some volunteer work with a local agency in the morning. I got to relax in the afternoon, which was nice. We had TERRIBLE weather yesterday so I got drenched just getting out of my car & into my apartment. I needed the time to dry off and warm up.

We had our church Christmas dinner last night. Between that, helping at the Christmas Closet last Tuesday, and finishing my tree, I feel ready. I even found my mom's gift - she's the hardest to shop for.

Today was low key. I've got two versions of one card to share today. I'm entering my version in three challenges, as follows:

Like my snowflake card from my last post, these were kits my friend put together. The first one I did exactly as she made hers.

Then for the challenge I made some changes. I flipped the patterned paper over, altered the orientation, and as you can see, chose a different sentiment stamp. Were I not aiming for a somewhat masculine feel, I might have added a bit of bling in a few spots on the flowers (by the word little in the greeting).

Hi Tania, I love the orientation you chose for the challenge. The sentiment and the punched out tree balance each other beautifully. What a good idea, to use that holly Designer Paper as the tree, too. Thannks so much for joining us this week for our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.

About Me

I'm a child and youth care worker and I love card making, scrapbooking and working with kids. I try to combine those things as much as possible. My blog is focussed on crafting, mostly my cards. I'm a Christian who strives daily to hone a servant's heart and an attitude of gratitude. I'm funny yet serious, stubborn yet easy going. I love reading, movies, and tv, though the only show that is 'Must See TV' for me is Grey's Anatomy.
